Surry County, Va. - A search warrant affidavit explains what led police to the home where they dug up a body this weekend in Surry County.

A call from a Wilson, North Carolina man named Ted Amundsen is what tipped police off to start digging behind the home.

It states that Amundsen developed a 'relationship' with Jennifer Sawyer.

She told him that her husband Jeffrey Sawyer murdered a man, and that the crime is still unsolved. Police interviewed Jennifer and she told investigators that she witnessed her husband shoot a man only known as "David Tyrone" back on January 1, 2006 after a New Year’s Eve party, according to the affidavit.
